Sofia Strong

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

Sofia was diagnosed in utero with a large VSD and large ASD.  Born on 10/01/22 weighing 3lbs 11oz at 36 weeks- It was later diagnosed that she had 2 VSDs, large ASD, Mesocardia, juxtapositional atrial appendage and an overriding aorta. After many medications, cardiac conferences with surgeons and a lengthy stay in the NICU and readmission to the PICU she had open heart surgery on 12/07/22 (10 weeks old). She had a complication after surgery: left diaphragmatic paralysis that caused her lung to collapse. That extended our stay by 2 weeks. We were eventually discharged on a new medication and oxygen (In addition to NG tube weaning which took 6 months). Today Sofia is a healthy 2 year old! No medications, no feeding tube, no further surgeries; just the annual specialist appointments. Sofia just graduated from PT this past year! We are so honored to raise money for children like our daughter. We were blessed with the outcomes of our little one and are wanting the same for every single family

My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me. It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward changing lives. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation and their crucial mission - advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this significant journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to drive forward life-saving research. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me.

Thank you for your generosity, and for standing beside me in this mission. Your support means the world.
